Kat waved her wand and placed a silencing charm on the hallway before laughing. It actually took a couple minutes for her to calm down but when she did, she was still smiling. “I really have to wonder if Noah or Kira know that their sister is hacking into their computers, reading their conversations and cracking the codes by herself?” She asked Brent with a smile. “While John has crashed out…though I have to confess…I believe we are going to have to get him to an eye doctor soon. He continues to squint when looking at music in small writing and that hasn’t happened before.” Kat said her demeanor changing to a more serious tone.

"I bet one of them knows...but they won't tell the other. They only tell each other what they need to plot against someone...which seems to be a lot. And I'm glad you two can crack their codes, cause I always get a headache when I try..." he said, rubbing his temples. He nodded at her comment about Johnathon. "Yeah, I noticed that. I was gonna bring it up at dinner, but...it was kind of silent. Except for mental conversations, that is. Which reminds me...when did that start?"

Kat smiled, “It’s ok…you don’t need to crack codes…aside from the ones of when to keep your mouth shut so you don’t sleep on the couch.” She said with a tiny wink, “And the mental conversations? Accidental magic again. You have to realize the type of family all 4 of them have influencing them. Of course what they want, their magic will allow at least until about the age of 8 when their bodies and minds catch up and the learn to control the magic…and once they go to Hogwarts their control will increase.” Kat said with a shrug.

"Only five more years, only five more years..." Brent muttered, and then gave a small smile. "It'll seem kind of quiet with them gone, don'tcha think?" he asked. As if on cue, there was a sudden bang from upstairs and Kira screamed. "NOAH YOU JERKFACE, YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!" "DID NOT!" "DID TOO!" DID NOT!" "YEA-HUH!" "UH-UH!" "YEA-HUH!" "UH-UH!" Brent sighed. "What could he POSSIBLY do from his room?..." As if in answer, Kira yelled, "LEAVE ME AND MY FURNITURE ALONE, YOU AS-ASTERISK!" Brent rolled his eyes.

“I think I’ll take the quiet.” Kat said with a laugh after the out bursts. “If you don’t stop fighting, computer privilege will be taken away. I don’t want nor do I need a migraine.” She said speaking into the intercom system for both Kira and Noah. She let go and then sighed leaning up against the wall and closing her eyes, trying to stop the impending head pounding that was bound to come.

"Noah, you're dead in a week. Mom, that's not a plot, that's a threat. Good night!" Kira said innocently with a cheerful laugh.
"Don't let your bed attack you again, Kir," Noah laughed, and Kira used a choice word that she couldn't think of a substitute for in time. "Night, Mum!" Noah added.

“I REALLY REALLY can not wait for the quiet….” Kat muttered, “5 more years….I say we find a way to make it 5 more months and just send them early.” She said rubbing her temples and suppressing a yawn. “Hell…screw the school….we’ll send them to my parents for a week or so and see if they calm down. Even if they don’t….we’ll have quiet for a week or so and then maybe they won’t fight as much around my parents or your parents…or Jake’s…I don’t care…let’s pick a family member.”

"Your parents, my parents, or Jake's parents?..." Brent trailed off. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't mine and Jake's parents the same people?..." he asked, tilting his head to one side. "But either way, sure...send them off for two weeks if they'll take 'em that long...or a month...or three..." Brent trailed off.
"You don't LIKE us anymore?" Kira's voice came over the intercom. Brent sighed. 'We need to remember to turn those off...' he mouthed to Kat.

“I meant Jake’s house smart one.” Kat said rolling her eyes before turning to the intercom, “Kira…we love you all dearly. But your grandparents have been complaining that they haven’t gotten to see you and you know your Uncle Jake is always will to have you over along with your Auntie Lily and Uncle James…though Uncle James will be busy for awhile.” Kat said with a sweet voice. “So, if you want to go visit someone you are allowed to voice your preference.”

"UNCLE JAKE!" Kira and Noah both shouted immediately. "Or Aunt Emma," Kira added. They were pleading to Merlin that Kat had forgotten about what she had said at the park about Jake never being bale to stay with them alone again. "We PROMISE not to kill each other there," Noah continued excitedly. Kira nodded, although no one could see her. "Becca, chances are you're listening to this...any preference?" she asked through the intercom.
Brent sent a glanced at Kat.

“Dears…you can’t promise not to kill each other here…” Kat said seriously, “And I don’t want you to learn quidditch.” She added seriously.
“I say Grandma and Grandpa…either ones….all 4 of them buy us big and expensive gifts when we go.” Becca said being bluntly honest as the typing of her keyboard was heard in the background, and then the soft playing of music, making it obvious she was writing something and playing through it over and over like she normally did to calm herself.
“You aren’t suppose to go there for gifts…” Kat said with a heavy sigh.
“Not suppose to….doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. Grandpa and Grandma Potter always get us something big and bring us out shopping to get more. And Grandpa and Grandma Tripp normally do the same thing…or feed us food until we puke.” Becca said over the soft music.

Brent started to defend his parents...but had to admit that they were right. "Yes, the cooking gene skipped over all the males in our family..." he said, shuddering at the memories of his father's cooking...or attempts at it.
"I still say Uncle Jake," Noah muttered. Kira snickered, "Yeah, of course you do, Noey." There was the sound of Noah sticking his tongue out at her, and Kira laughed. "How about we spend one week with Uncle Jake and Natalie, one week with Aunt Emma and Aaron, and one week with grandparents!" she said, laughing even louder. "You do know that Aunt Emma isn't dating Aaron, right?" Noah asked. "Of course...not yet...but, come on, you were there when we all went to the Three Broomsticks. A Malfoy could walk in and start killing people and they still wouldn't have stopped staring at each other long enough to notice."

//Except for the fact that they will never date...I'm sorry Danny-kinns.//
“You know you are wrong right? They won’t end up together. Auntie Emma is going to find a dirty blonde hair, teal eyed, 6 foot 3 guy who she will fall crazy in love with and Aaron will find a brunette, red-head, 5 foot 5, with honey eyes and fall in love though there is a potential for heart break.” Becca’s voice sounded over the intercom as more typing and clicking was heard.
Kat was silent for a couple seconds and then cleared her throat, “Ok….” She said to Becca’s comment with such detail. “And that could work…as long as we get your Auntie Natalie to agree to stay with Jake when he’s around you. If I tell her no quidditch, she’ll keep to it.” Kat said seriously, “And so that would be 4 weeks out of the house…and for the first week you would still be grounded…or we wait a week and then send you off.”

//Fine. Then feel free to make those characters Becca talked about and they'll stay apart...otherwise I'll get bored and have to find a loophole in the rules, and then you'll get ticked and blah blah blah...everyone loses.//
"Wait a week," both said at the same time. "Pssh, says you," Kira said to Becca. "Whatever you say, Becky..." Noah added, smirking. Sometimes it was OK to be grounded.
Brent piped up, "Oh, and you aren't aloud to learn anything about hexojinxes from Jake..."
"Hexo-what?" Kira asked, curiosity rising immediately. "Yeah dad, share with us," Noah added.
"Never mind," Brent said quickly.

//I don’t want/can’t control two more characters….sorry….but if you could find someone have fun.//
“I’m NOT grounded….remember that Nathaniel.” Becca spat before turning off her intercom system fully so no one could bother her while she worked away on a new song she was writing…inspired by her siblings of course.
Kat sighed “Grounded remember, we’ll talk about this later.”

"Yeah, sure," Kira said at the same time as Noah's, "Whatever, fine." Both were on the Internet Googling 'hexo-jinx'. After 5 seconds, Kira said, "Darn it! It's not online!"
"Duh, Jake made them...Em helped..." Brent shrugged.
"Fine, Da. We won't ask Jake what they are," Kira sighed.
"But can we as-OW!" Noah yelled as he was hit in the back of the head with a pillow.
"Oops," Kira rolled her eyes.

“I want computers shut-down now please. Practice music or something but computers are off, and do remember we can keep track of this stuff.” Kat said as she was getting even more of a headache with their constant bickering, “I also want the intercom to have a rest…your in your rooms so you are separated.” She added as she rubbed her temples. She would get a headache potion later but right now she wanted to make sure that her children didn’t kill each other. “AND! No magic! Grounding will go to a month if I hear about one bout of magic.” She said seriously.

"OW!" Kira yelled, right before Kat started the last line.
"Yes, Mother, no magic...starting now!" Noah said, smirking to himself.
"Dead man," Kira said. "Bye," she added before signing off. There was another click as Noah also turned off the intercom. A minute and two emails later, both computers were turned off.
Brent looked at Kat. "Well...that was an eventful conversation. Going back on your vow not to let Jake near the kids ever again?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, as he reached into a cabinet above the refrigerator. He pulled out a tall glass of gold liquid with a label reading, 'Headache-Away'. He poured a small glass for himself and looked back at Kat. "Want some?..." he offered.

“Just give me the bloody bottle. I love all 4 of them dearly…but them bickering after I have been rune translating all day is just making my head pound and I don’t think it’s going to stop any time soon.” Kat muttered with her eyes closed and rubbing her temples trying to keep the migraine under control. “And no, I said he wouldn’t be ALONE with them again…but Natalie lives with his and she’ll keep him in line…and if I tell Nat’s not to let them learn spells or fly she’ll make sure Jake doesn’t do that and she won’t do it herself.” She added with a slight yawn.

"Are we talking about the same Weasley?" Brent asked, handing her the bottle. "Last time I checked, Natalie didn't seem all that disciplinary material...but if you trust her, I guess..." he added hastily. The last thing he wanted was a peeved off Kat hexing him and making him sleep on the couch all month. He had figured out that no matter how little a thing he did, Kat could blow up at any second if she was all ready in a bad mood. Figures that he would always be the last one to be with her...

“She’s not normally but if I ask her to do something she will.” Kat said simply as she downed the right amount of potion for her migraine and walked down to the kitchen to put the potion away from where Brent summoned it. “Especially once I tell her what happened with the Andrew guy…,” she muttered to herself as she placed the bottle where it was suppose to be. She was not sure if Brent had followed her or not…but she did remember that before they went to the park they never had ordered the movie tickets…and after the burst with Andrew…it would also explain why Becca was tired of the bickering…since she had done her fair share of yelling today…though Kat could not deny that Becca did only one tenth of what Kat wanted to do to that slick slimy son of a bitch…she had yet to even tell Brent about the whole incident…though she was in no rush to do so mind you. “James better run him through trials till he bleeds, or I’ll make sure he does.” Kat added to her mutterings as she pitter-patted around the kitchen trying to distract herself as the potion started to work.

"Why, what happened?" Brent asked, immediately concerned and suspicious. Andrew might have to worry about a lot more than extra trials at Auror Headquarters if he had done anything to Kat, Becca, or John. Brent had a momentary flashback of what he, Noah, and Kira had done that day. They had decided on playing Laser Tag, them versus him. Except that they all were cloned four times, so it was eight-to-four. Kira and Noah crushed him. He still owed them an ice cream for winning...Then he snapped back to reality and looked at Kat.

“Let’s just say our daughter has a hell of a mouth…and we are NEVER going to have to worry about protecting her from guys…she can take care of herself.” Kat said with a slight chuckle, “Oh…and she’s convinced that Andrew Flaherty is gay, hires whores to pretend he’s not gay, and goes to kid movies to take kids and be a pedophile.” She said with a smile at the memory. “John was scared of her and then got smart and started warming up to her. And he tried insulting my parenting skills but that’s when Becca went a little crazy on him…he doesn’t do well with Potter women it seems.”

"Poor guy's gonna quit and run away to Antarctica," Brent said without sympathy. "Good for Becca. Maybe I'll just bring her to work tomorrow and my conscience will be cleared without me having to curse him into next year..." he added after a second. "Hmm...this brings up some decisions. Becca or Lily?..." Brent joked, although he kept a straight face. "Becca for sure, Lily wouldn't want to waste her time on Andrew. Then again...I doubt Becca would either. Darn, I'm stuck with just me," he said with a dramatic sigh.

“Oh…I’m going to James…and Andrew will run away and quit his job probably after what James is going to do to him. I mean…he’s an overprotective brother and Uncle and if he hears what happened with either of them…James is gonna pop…and with the whole minister thing already stressing him…he’ll be begging for any excuse to let his anger out.” Kat said with a chuckle. “And no, you are not bringing our daughter to that headquarters when the minister is dead and James going crazy…she’s already stressed enough.” She said seriously.
